The Ghanaian Minister for Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovations, Sam George, has announced that five new telephony cell sites will be activated in October 2026. These sites will extend telecommunications services to three additional communities in the Sekyere Afram Plains district of the Ashanti region. During an inspection of existing Rural Telephony Project sites, George emphasized the importance of bridging the digital divide by improving network coverage in underserved areas.
The Rural Telephony Project aims to deploy 800 new telecommunications sites nationwide and upgrade existing rural networks from 3G to 4G, warning that neglecting rural areas could widen the digital divide as Ghana moves towards 5G.
